Overview

Property

No 1 Bellevue Terrace is a charming city-centre main door, two-bedroom apartment situated on the ground floor of an impressive Georgian building in the east of Edinburgh's historic 18th Century New Town. The large apartment has recently been tastefully restored with a chic new kitchen, carpets and fresh colour schemes throughout.

Original details such as original flagstones in the entrance hall have been exposed, which set a stylish tone on entering.

The apartment has two spacious bedrooms and can sleep four comfortably. The double has two huge windows offering peaceful garden views to the rear. At the front, the bright and airy twin room has charming views over public gardens and a colonnaded neo classical church. Both rooms offer generous storage space. There is also a cot bed available.

Located close to vibrant Broughton Street with its restaurants, bars and shops, it is only ten minutes walk from the city centre, Harvey Nichols, visitor attractions and the serene & historic Royal Botanical Gardens.

Lovely roomy Edinburgh flat, all you need.

Very generous size rooms. Lovely ground floor flat in pretty Edinburgh terrace-style. Fully equipped kitchen. Walking distance ( if you're a bit of a walker) to Edinburgh centre. Only minus -- you may have trouble getting in and out of the claw tub bath, although it's a very nice feature of the accommodation. Have stayed there twice. Would again.

About the Owner

My husband, Angus and I have lived and had property in this area of Edinburgh for over 18 years. We moved out of Edinburgh 10 years ago and have gradually built up a holiday cottage business on our country estate in Galloway, south west Scotland. In addition to our Edinburgh apartment, we have three holiday houses on the estate and a further one in the pretty harbour village of Portpatrick.

Look No Further

Our family completely enjoyed this beautiful apartment. We wanted enough space to spread out, host dinners and enjoy a little down time from our two week UK vacation. This home fit the bill perfectly.

The kitchen was fully equipped with all amenities including a dishwasher and washing machine and table for six. We dried our laundry each night on the wonderful towel warmers in the bathroom. The apartment is on the first floor so no pesky steps.

Parking was a bit of a challenge each night but we managed. Thinking about the rest of Edinburgh, we seemed quite lucky to have a place to park!

We felt perfectly at home, warm and cozy in the flat with a very nice mix of the Georgian style architecture, cottage furnishings and gorgeous window treatments.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your very kind words - I'm so pleased you all enjoyed relaxing at the apartment during your trip to the UK and I do hope we can welcome you back to 1 Bellevue Terrace one day in the not too distant future.
Just to avoid any confusion for anyone reading the review that the reviewer is American - so when she mentions the apartment is on the 'first floor', for British people this is in fact the 'ground floor'!

Perfect for our New Year Break

We booked this apartment a year in advance and we were not disappointed. The apartment is beautifully appointed and very spacious with wonderful decor and stylish furnishings. We had everything we needed for the perfect self-catering holiday. The owner was very helpful and we would certainly visit again and recommend to friends.

The location was perfect for our New Year Holiday with friends and we had a fantastic New Years Eve meal at The Grainstore Restaurant then watched the fireworks at midnight. A really nice way to bring in a New year. Thank you.

Location

From the Owner

“When we moved out of Edinburgh to south west Scotland, where we run a holiday cottage and farming business on the coast of Galloway, we wanted a base in town. Angus looked at lots of flats, but they were either up many flights of stairs, with shared stairwells, or dark basements. And then we found this one, which was under our very noses – right across the road from our house. Being on the ground floor with its own main front door, 1 Bellevue Terrace was just right. We love it as it’s a great base to explore the city, shop – you can walk everywhere. Although the decor was not at all to our taste, Angus immediately saw the potential , we bought it and then set to work transforming it. We’ve now been welcoming guests to our apartment for nearly nine years.”

Bellevue Apartment is spacious and well located on the east of Edinburgh's historic New Town - a World Heritage Site which is renown for its impressive neo-classical buildings and architecture. It is a stone's throw from Broughton Street, a buzzing neighbourhood with masses of restaurants, bars, delis and specialist boutiques and gift shops. It is a 15 minute walk to the exclusive Edinburgh central shopping district centred on George Street.

For an uplifting stroll at any time of the year, the Botanical Gardens are a short walk to the north of the apartment. From a cultural perspective, the Playhouse Theatre is also close by - approximately ten minutes on foot - which sees many West End productions visiting from Mama Mia to Miss Saigon and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; as are art galleries including the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
